BBoy Document 2013 Zulu Nation Hip-Hop Family Re-Union
Last year featured a series of events which brought the many generations of UK BBoys & BGirls together.

Universal Zulu Nation 40th Anniversary UK Zulu Exhibition, Showcases, Film Screenings & Events @ MAP Studio Cafe London

November 2013 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Universal Zulu Nation. In celebration, B-Boy Documents brings together key figures in hip-hop culture – both UK and internationally - for a month of debates, performances, film screenings and presentations. The programme will explore the legacies of a wide range of contributors to the culture, celebrating their work and discussing experiences. Drawing on the spirit of the Zulu Nation, which emphasises the use of hip-hop as a force for positive change

At the start of the 1980’s, as the elements of hip hop culture spread beyond New York City and onto these shores, the London scene began to take shape after early initial visits from Futura 2000, The Rock Steady Crew and the screening of the legendary hip hop movie ‘Wild Style’. Developing in London clubs such as The Titanic and The Peoples Club, in the streets of Ladbroke Grove and in other cities such as Bristol and Manchester, by 1984 higher profile jams began to be organised, many catering to the under 18’s. This exhibition will emphasise the imagery; primarily select flyers from the early 80’s - coupled with aural testimonies from the partakers themselves. Our intention is to re-introduce some pioneers names that are often overlooked in the documentation of the history. We hope this will inspire some memories and some discussions about that period of time. From the mighty Mastermind Roadshow to Newtrament, Cosmic Jam, The Wild Bunch, Sir Drew, Imperial Mixers, Steve Devonne, Family Quest and many, many others. These individuals helped shape a culture that is still a way of life for so many of us. November 2013 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Universal Zulu Nation. In celebration, B-Boy Documents brings together key figures in hip-hop culture – both UK and internationally - for a month of debates, performances, film screenings and presentations. The programme will explore the legacies of a wide range of contributors to the culture, celebrating their work and discussing experiences. Drawing on the spirit of the Zulu Nation, which emphasises the use of hip-hop as a force for positive change, B-Boy Documents will highlight how hip-hop has united as it has travelled. It will explore how hip-hop alerted adherents in the UK to the perspectives of hip-hop’s multicultural practitioners in New York. But, more than this, B-Boy Documents will engage with how hip-hop gave British youth a powerful new set of tools to express and make sense of their worlds, creating new futures as they did. 1) Friday November 1st: Opening Night Party https://www.facebook.com/events/356497787818491   2) Sunday November 3rd: This Functional Family Book event by Lyn E Lyn https://www.facebook.com/events/208769232625174  3) Wednesday November 13th: David Toop, Author of ' The Rap Attack ' Q & A with James McNally https://www.facebook.com/events/174133462776668/?fref=ts  4) Friday 22nd November: Louder Than A Bomb Live Set https://www.facebook.com/events/436980999744263  5) Here's a taster of the original Italian version, as this will be the first English performance of it: http://vimeo.com/53902668  6)Sunday 24th November: Zulu Nation Meeting of the Minds, round table discussion hosted by TJ Chill based on the memories of the flyers in the exhibition. https://www.facebook.com/events/733834986642239/?fref=ts  7)Friday 29th November: Yo!
